That's not necessary, Matt.  I have said before on this mailing list and 
elsewhere that peak fitting is a very weak part of Athena.  While it is 
true that Ifeffit's capabilities in this area were limited, Athena's 
implementation was poor.

I completely agree that XAS Viewer would be a better choice for this task.
